I see a lot of games resigned in the opening in late January and early February. That looks like sandbagging to me.

Rare to see a Gleason thread comment

I usually live in the Cheating Forum.

#27 No one spends hours of their time writing paragraphs they don’t even believe a word of just to troll. Or if they do, there’s some kind of mental problem going on but I’m willing to bet that’s not you. It’s related to your ego because you spent hours insisting that only high elo players like yourself were worthy of commenting on the forums. You responded to the massive backlash on that thread almost daily, and it was always to counter argue, not to troll people. And it is related to this thread, because someone who would spend that much time insisting on limiting the speech of half CCs player base is the same kind of guy who would probably do things like sandbag games, and then use business as an excuse. If you were busy, you could have and would have let the games time out.

bro some people do and its just to poke fun and something you shouldn't really take seriously there's no need to assume if someone does that they have some sort of a "mental problem"

Dude was elo shaming. That ain’t poking fun

either way it isn't the reason why he got banned. make your own forum if you want, not here

I never said it was the reason. I said that the fact that he did that discredits his claims that he wasn't sandbagging his games on purpose slightly.

whats sandbagging in chess?

MSHARK19

when you purposefully lose

UnbanMyKing

why would someone want to loose on purpose?

Generally to lower their rating. Sometimes they do this to get into rating-restricted tournaments they can easily win. Sometimes they do it to troll other players ("Haha, you lost to a 100-rated player!"). Sometimes they do it to get easier games they can win more easily. There are other reasons, but those are probably the main ones.
